Svensk bokkonst

The I—X publication by Form Us With Love was awarded this March by the Swedish Book Art Association, ‘to serve as a model of emulation.’ As a chronological compilation, edited by Lia Forslund and designed by Hendrik Nygren Design, the book is a generously sized monograph filled with design process, insights and reflective thinking.

‘The act to present extensive material across many pages, in a large pocket format, is clever. Form, function and attention to the economy of production are cohesive and gives the book the chance to reach a large audience. The cover creates a unity with the appendix that complements the main publication,’ read the Swedish Book Art Jury’s formal statement.

The annual selection of awardees are currently on display at the Swedish National Library, and at other libraries and institutions in Sweden and abroad.

Water Faucet

You try to locate the sensors, looking for those dark coloured lenses usually placed in the stem of the faucets. But you can’t see anything! It’s ‘minimalism’. You place your hands a wide as you can, moving frantically to try to maximise the chance for a reflection to hit the sensor—it still doesn’t work.
